Question

How do you determine the limit of `(x+2) / (x+3)` as x approaches 3-?

Answer 1

Please see below.

Explanation:

As `x` approaches `3` from the left,

the numerator approaches `5` and

the denominator approaches `6`.

Since the denominator does not approach `0`, we know that the quotient approaches `5/6` and so the limit is `5/6`.
